Comments from elsewhere

"when I was living with someone who was positive we knew of people who held off appling for DLA till they REally Really needed it, the proscess was so long and so stressful at least two of the people who claimed died before their awards came through.

So yes it should just go to those who need it but it should be there when they need it not be so late or so hard to get that its not worth having."

My response :

I agree whole heartedly with your comments. Please accept my sympathy on to you for your loss.

This is a complex issue. However I would agree with your main point. It is when it is needed the most. When one is not necessarily able to apply. That the system needs to facilitate a speedy response.

However, the higher they raise the bar. Those that needed, when they need it. May not pass the bar upon initial application. Many applications are granted on appeal.

Would someone ill be able to deal with an appeal process?

Thank you for taking the time to comment.
